UNSPSC 85673623: Supplement left elbow bursa and ligament with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left elbow bursa and ligament with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0MU447Z

UNSPSC 85673623 Supplement left elbow bursa and ligament with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that bears no relationship to the state and local procurement opportunities recently posted under this classification. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted against it are entirely unrelated to surgical implants or tissue-substitute medical devices. Instead, the code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors in the orthopedic device or surgical-supply space.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code span disability medical evaluation services (City of Phoenix), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), a surgical benefit carve-out program for government employees (City of Long Beach), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara). These solicitations address medical administration, benefit program management, and staffing services—none of which involve orthopedic implants, autologous tissue substitutes, or the procedural supply chain the code nominally describes. The mismatch signals either a tagging error in the source data or fundamental misalignment between the code's intended scope and how state and local procurement offices are using it in practice. Vendors serving the orthopedic device or surgical-implant market should not rely on this code as a reliable procurement channel for state and local government business.
